My name is Brynne Duffy and I am in my final year of
my undergraduate Bachelor of Science with Honours Specialization
in Biology and
a Major in Medical Science. Over the last year, I have been lucky
enough to
help care for and study Black Widow spiders under the superb Susan
Anthony,
here in the Sinclair lab. This year I am beginning my Honours
thesis on the
common pond snail, Lymnaea
stagnalis.
I am planning to determine the effects of cold on the snails’
memory formation
and retention.My
hope is to continue
into a research master’s program with focus on comparative
physiology. I am
looking forward to an exciting year of science here in the
Sinclair lab!
